How are you peeps able to take it waiting so long for releases ?

submitted by GreyCat to manga 7 points | 11 comments I know this might sound like I am glancing over all the hard work of mangakas but I’m really not, just venting my despair… x) How are you people able to follow a story and not go mad when the chapters are sometimes ~ so. damn. SLOW ~ to release ? I had read a manga 5 years ago, it was 22 chapters at the time, but for some reason it stuck with my mind and I finally decided check and re-read it again a few days ago. Half a day, 53 chapters(*) later and I was already done reading it. I’m now just dreading having to wait 5 more years for it to maybe finish. Or follow the drip of releases. I think it’s one of those monthly releases (maybe less since there ~40 new chapters over 5+ years). Do you guys follow releases ? Do you not ? I personally almost never do… One funny thing I notice I do when I know I’m getting close to the the last chapters of a manga I like. In my manga reader, I ignore the chapter number and just click my “Next Chapter” button praying to god it won’t be the last one 😂 Again, not a critic of the author(s). * Actually discovered while making this post that there are 8 chapters for me to read YOSHAAAAAAA
